Abstract :
We developed a new multi-water-sampling system, ANEMONE-11, for autonomous underwater vehicle and remotely operated underwater vehicle exploration. Water samples are continuously collected by the ANEMONE-11 sampler by an in situ water pump at 40 mL/min and are sent to a selection valve unit that consists of 128 valves connected to 40 mL sampling bottles (50 cm in length). Each valve in the unit is selected and opened at preprogrammed intervals. We also discuss the results of observations at a hydrothermal area in the Okinawa Trough.
